Luontoliitto’s Policy Group is made up of a collection of campaigns and activities such as, agricultural reform influencing, anti-datacenter work, birdwatching events, regional nature activities and queer nature groups – there is something for everyone! This action group has been running since the start of 2023 and evolves according to the wants and needs of the volunteers. We have a focus on youth (up to 29, but all ages are welcome). We work towards bettering diversity and inclusion in nature activities and environmental policy through offering participation tools and nature activities.
145 data centers have been planned for Finland, they are coming at unprecedented rate without proper regulation. Data centers cause environmental harm in the form of water consumption, noise and air pollution, as well as habitat loss, In addition to environmental harm, data centres are harmful to communities through their massive energy and water usage. These planned data centres would also cause a massive growth in electricity consumption, which can increase rates for consumers.
